The contents of the database look like this


As hardware it is very small and inexpensiveRaspberry PiThe built-in microphone · power supply (or battery pack with microUSB connection) and Wi-Fi for sending notification mail, also use SD card as a storage area for downloading and uploading databases It is supposed to be.


It is relieved if you leave it like this.


A prototype already operable on notebook PC is completed


After that we have come to a state where you can complete it by porting it to work with Raspberry Pi.


In addition, we plan to make it possible to upload and provide the database also collected by our users independently, and the investment is under acceptance at the following site.
